Setting sail from Kobe

Small in size and cosmopolitan in its outlook, Kobe is a
thoroughly pleasant city with a long and distinguished history as
one of Japan's main trading ports. Kobe's past as a commercial hub
is reflected in its architecture, with a number of unusually
European-looking houses, as well as a charming, if slightly
touristy, Chinatown. Kobe is overlooked by Mount Rokko, and you can
take a cable car to the top for marvellous views. The city is also
an important centre for sake production, so it's a great place to
sample Japan's most famous tipple.

Don't miss

Kitano-cho was the centre of foreign trade in the 19th century, so here you can find the former mansions, Ijinkan, which are open to the public. A great area to just wander around.

Aomori

Japan:
Otaru

The charming port town of Otaru has a notable history, playing an important role in the herring trade during the 19th century, and this is reflected in the stone warehouses alongside the picturesque canal.

24 May

Russia:
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky

Petropavlovsk is the main city on Russia’s remote Kamchatka peninsula, a hardy place where bleak Soviet tower blocks stand in the shadow of giant volcanoes. It’s a spectacular setting, and the city serves as the main gateway for exploring Kamchatka’s otherworldly landscapes and incredible wildlife.

29 May

United States:
Kodiak

Kodiak is known as Alaska’s ‘Emerald Isle’ thanks to the lush green countryside, a landscape crisscrossed by gushing salmon-filled streams that provides a home to around 3,000 Kodiak bears, the world’s largest. Ships dock in Kodiak city, an important fishing port with a fascinating Russian heritage.

1 June

United States:
Sitka

Sitka was founded by Russian fur traders in 1799 as the city of New Archangel, and there is still a discernible Russian influence here, including the distinctive St Michael’s Orthodox Cathedral. The town also enjoys spectacular natural surroundings, facing the Pacific Ocean and dramatic Mount Edgecumbe.

2 June

United States:
Wrangell

Back in its 19th century heyday Wrangell was a lawless gold rush town, and it's still a little rough around the edges, but it's also a very welcoming place, ideal for exploring the surrounding Alaskan wilderness. Take a trip to the nearby Anan Wildlife Observatory for the chance to see black and brown bears at close proximity.

3 June

United States:
Ketchikan

Ketchikan is a great introduction to Alaska’s natural attractions, situated at the foot of towering Deer Mountain and within easy reach of the Misty Fjords. The colourful wooden buildings of Creek Street, the old red light district, are a reminder of Ketchikan’s former status as a rough and ready frontier town; these days, things are rather more civilised!

Arriving in Vancouver

Cosmopolitan Vancouver is a city that rewards exploration, an
eminently liveable place and an easy gateway to the natural beauty
of British Columbia. The culinary scene here is a particular draw,
with seafood galore and some fantastic Asian restaurants, and the
city has also been at the forefront of the craft beer movement.
Verdant Stanley Park is a favourite of locals and visitors alike,
while Kitsilano's beaches and wooden houses are wonderfully
picturesque. Cultural attractions tend to be on a smaller scale
than you'd expect from a city of this size, but the thrill of
stumbling across one of Vancouver's quirky little galleries is all
part of the city's appeal.

Our tip

Canadians call their one-dollar coins “loonies” (because it bears the image of a loon) and their two-dollar coins “toonies” so sort out your vocabulary and talk like a local!

Your home from home

Any one of Seabourn's lovely little trio of spacious and elegant sisters is the perfect choice for a combination of contemporary style and traditional expert hospitality.

What we love

When Seabourn built Odyssey, Sojourn and Quest, over a period of
just three years, we were delighted. Not only because each one is
beautiful, but also because their similarity means that they are
interchangeable, enabling you to travel all over the world in a
familiar environment.
